Abstract
Context modeling is the keystone to enable the intelligent system to adapt its functionalities properly to different situations. As such, a representation mechanism that allows an adequate manipulation of this kind of information is required, and diverse approaches have been introduced; however, what takes more value and is being positioned as a standard is the ontology-based context modeling because it presents a common understanding vocabulary for a specific domain. Hence, it might be beneficial to have a generic ontology to model context in this area. However, according to diverse works, there is no proposal of a generic context model for context-aware learning. For addressing this problem, several existing context models are studied to identify the essentials of context modeling, whereby an ontology-based generic context model is presented. The proposed ontology is evaluated in two ways. Firstly, scenarios are used to justify the feasibility of the model; then a comparative study and evaluation metrics are applied to assess the proposal.

Our research aims to contribute in the field of adaptive mobile learning by introducing a generic model for learners’ context including the most common and frequently used characteristics within this field (Aguilar et al, 2018, Yin et al, 2015)
Summary
Ubiquitous learning (u-learning) can be seen as a new paradigm regarding deliver adaptation of learning services for learners. There has been a growing research background about the topic of context modeling and several approaches have been proposed (Yin et al, 2015), out of which ontology seem to be the most successful and promising one, this is due to the fact that it construct expressive models that can manage the required context information and offer some basic reasoning mechanisms. Another important purpose of ontology consists of providing a common understanding vocabulary for a specific field.
